Its to clear the channel of the old 60gig sku.DarkCatalyst

Hold on. Are you saying the 60 GB model will be discontinued then?

Its likely once all the 60gig skus are gone, the new 80gig sans EE chip will be dropped to 499 without a bundled game.

Dropping the EE would be a terrible move unless they can do it all through emulation (not Xbox 360 "backward compatibility", but the real thing).

100$ for 20G and Motor storm...mm.. not worth it.Macolele

So buy the 499 sku, jesus christ, its the same damn system. :roll:

Typically overreactions.

They are releasing a 80gig sku because 80gig drives are cheaper to come by than 60. They also said they would be doing this a long time ago. Its to clear the channel of the old 60gig sku.

They better announce Twisted Metal Black 2 or somethingsince that Warhawk thing pretty much fell through.smerlus

[QUOTE="D3s7rUc71oN"]Wow good job Sony, now if you could just bundle a new game with it...wizdom

Rotfl... that will never happen

I knew this was coming as soon as Stringer brought up the price "refinement" in last month's interview.

It's a good move by Sony for the short-term, but when you look at how they're still $100 above the 360 which isn't selling all that well either (with an established library to boot), the price is going to be something that has to constantly be fluid on this thing until it hits $200 and the mass market greets it with open arms.

Still, this is a much better move than Microsoft's Elite release. Sony obviously understands that the price needs to come down instead of the other way around. And that's something that weighs heavily in their favor -- they've been through two generations quite successfully. They know the moves to make and probably won't make any Freshman errors like Microsoft did with the Elite.

The big question now is how much of a drop Microsoft responds with. My money's on a dollar-for-dollar drop.

I believe on the last 1up yours they said there was a news report or study saying consumers prefered the Elite over the premium.

Carnage might want to check your link to neogaf, maybe this is the thread your looking for http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=167484 the thread you link to is an off topic thread.

upinflames here are game play descriptions from people who have played it as well as analyzing of the gameplay videos

From what I've seen, it looks like the enemies leave behind a streak when attacking, corresponding to what stance you need to be in. Blue looks to be speed (the default), Red for power, and yellow for range. Apparently in the video in the OP, a single enemy can have two different types of attacks, requiring the use of different stances. So apparently, the mechanic goes a lot deeper (and ends up being a lot more interesting) than it appears on the surface. Hopefully the it proves to be as deep as it potentially could be.

I guess Ninja Theory thought it would be overly complicated to have to switch stances, and then have to block, but didn't want to go for a standard blocking system, so opted for stance-based automatic blocking. It all depends on how the mechanic is executed over the course of the game. I'll wait for more impressions, and a chance to play the game myself.

We know there's speed, power and range stances.
We know that if you're in a specific stance, you'll automatically block incoming moves that match your stance.
We know that you hold L/R buttons to change stances on the fly, and that stance switching in the middle of combos is possible.
We know that there are "super moves" that require stance switching.
We know that there are counters/reversals after you block a move correctly.
We know that there's no jump button.Ktallguy

someones additions/fixes to that list.

Some fixes:
You can block any type of attack with speed stance, but there's a difference in how many attacks you can block. Power stance probably has problems with blocking fast attacks, and range stance probably has problems with blocking strong attacks (we haven't seen blocking withthem yet).

To put it simple, even though block is automatic, you won't be able to just stand there and wait for perfect moment to attack, cause your defense isn't impenetrable.

"inside the developers studio" from the PS blog.

There will be no limted addition, instead they are going to cram as much extras onto one BRD as they can, similar to God Of War 2, except that was two DVDs.

For those unaware there is a banner ad advertising E3 in the PS store and indicating that it is clickable, but clicking it does nothing at the moment.

Also i would expect quite a bit of information from the playstation blog as well.

here is said banner

GS has finally reviewed it! And they gave it a....0.0???

Teufelhuhn

OMG GS BIAS HATES PS3 LOL BBQ !!!1!1!

LOL!

Looks like they fixed it now, its got a rating of 7.0. :?

Can't say I agree with much in that review.

"decent? audio visual presentation?" Are we playing the same game? Theres not a single downloadable game on either platform that looks as good as Super stardust.

Im glad other sites actually gave it a fair shake and gave it a score it deservers.

Edit 9.1 from 1up, and 9.0 from eurogamer, 8.7 from IGN.

Oh.. look who reviewed it, that guy that consistently gives big hyped games for all systems low scores.
